Minn. tax agency snafu causes double refunds

The Minnesota Department of Revenue is
reeling back 14,000 electronic tax refunds after it discovered that
they were inadvertently sent out twice.

The refunds were dispersed to taxpayer bank accounts Friday and
were accidently sent out Monday as well. The state tax department
learned of the error shortly after and reversed the second round of
payments. Those affected should expect to see two identical refund
deposits; one will be reversed Wednesday.

The department blamed it on "human error" and is investigating
ways to prevent it from happening again.
